Ogbourne Maisey House

House. Built in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, with alterations in the early 18th century. The structure combines banded sarsen stone and knapped flint with a tiled roof. It is two storeys and has an attic, with cellars beneath the western third of the building. The house follows a T-plan, featuring a central entrance hall. A stone doorcase, dating to 1636, is a prominent feature, displaying slender Ionic columns, an entablature, and a pediment. The arched doorway has an acanthus key stone and carved abaci; the spandrels are facetted and contain blank shields. A two-leaf door is set within the doorcase, flanked by 18-pane sashes from the early 18th century with heavy glazing bars. The outer bays have 12-pane sashes from the mid-18th century, and a round-headed stair window with key blocks on the architrave is situated on the right side of the entrance, balanced by a blind window to the left. The upper floor has 3-light stone windows with hollow chamfered mullions, outer ogees, and label hoods. Three symmetrical, tile-hung gabled dormers are above the eaves, each featuring a 3-light timber window with diamond leading. Two similar recessed dormers are positioned between these. Brick stacks, each with three diagonal brick shafts, are on the gable ends. Cellars to the right of the entrance have stone mullioned windows.

Inside, the entrance hall contains 17th-century dado panelling. The left-hand drawing room boasts a fireplace with Ionic columns, full panelling, and a dentilled cornice. This was likely originally a hall, later converted into a parlour in the 18th century. The rear wing contains the original kitchen, which features a large gable fireplace that has since been reduced in size. A brick block from the 17th century is attached to the southwest corner, housing a 17th-century stair, which may have originally been timber-framed. The roof incorporates butt purlins, a tenoned ridge, and windbraces.
